| Description: | FIRST REISSUE - NEW MASTERING - FULL BOOKLET - 3 BONUS TRACKS
Slik Toxik was formed in 1988 out of Toronto hard rock band Portrait. Portrait consisted of original members singer/guitarist Nick Walsh, drummer Kevin Harrison, guitarist Kevin Gale and bassist/ lyricist Dave Mercel. Capitol Records (EMI) signed the band in 1991 and issued an EP, 'Smooth And Deadly'. This was followed in 1992 by the full album Doin' the Nasty. Both the EP and full-length album were produced by Paul Gross and co-produced by Anthony Vanderburgh and recorded at Toronto's world class facility studio Phase One. They won the 1993 Juno Award for Hard Rock Album of the Year. The "White Lies/Black Truth" video won the People's Choice Award for 'Best Video Of The Year' and "Helluvatime" took home the 'Best Metal Video Award' at the 1992 MuchMusic Video Awards.
Heading into the 90â??s, the waters were a bit rocky for the hard rock/metal world. The landscape was changing and bands such as Warrant, Poison, and Skid Row who all at one time were selling out arenas and amphitheaters found themselves playing to 1/2 full venues and in some cases reduced to playing half full clubs. It was also a bad time for new bands of the genre who were coming out. While this was true, it definitely didnâ??t mean that these bands werenâ??t any good. As a matter of fact, bands like Tora Tora, War Babies, and Babylon AD were doing this stuff as good if not better than many of their peers. Of those acts, one band and their debut album rose above them all to really blow our mind. That band was Slik Toxik and the album was Doin the Nasty .
20+ years later, Doinâ?? the Nasty is an album that is still a fucking blast to listen to. The production is perfect, the band plays absolutely amazing, and the songs are so well thought out, well written, and perfectly executed. Slik Toxik is a band that may have never rose above the horizon to make their presence known but Doinâ?? the Nasty serves as a reminder that some of the greatest albums ever made are the ones you never even knew existed." - Standard jewel case with clear tray including booklet."Doin' The Nasty" on CD is a powerful hard rock and glam-influenced release by Canadian band Slik Toxik, packed with gritty riffs, punchy rhythms and memorable hooks that capture the early-90s heavy rock spirit. The album offers a raw yet melodic sound, combining aggressive guitar work, driving grooves and energetic vocals into songs that are equally suited for loud listening sessions and dedicated collectors of the era's rock music. This CD edition is ideal for fans of classic hard rock and metal who appreciate a straightforward, no-nonsense album with a strong, streetwise attitude and a tight band performance throughout. The artist Slik Toxik gained attention in the hard rock scene with their combination of sleazy riffs, powerful choruses and a charismatic frontman presence, standing out among their contemporaries in the early '90s. Known for their intense live shows and solid songwriting, they have earned a cult following among fans of melodic yet heavy rock. The CD is released by Bad Reputation / Cargo, a label and distributor known for supporting rock and metal artists and for reissuing or carefully curating albums that deserve renewed visibility. Their focus on quality releases, often aimed at connoisseurs and collectors, makes this edition a well-considered choice for fans looking for a solid physical version of the album. |
